DIY 39 pepper Aeroponic System- EP. 1 (Rails)

EPISODE 1- The first in a series of videos detailing my homemeade aeroponic rail system that houses 39 pepper plants. This video details the rail construction and design and reasoning behind the build. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!!!

[@Okie8T9]

Wow, probably the most complicated but well thought out system I've seen. Great design!

[@dramey03]

i really do love your system, i was just looking for vids of this style in pvc pipe instead of the fence posts, but i love the fence square shape and the syle of how you built this, this really is an excellent video its greatly appreciated, keep up the great work, you are doing a lot for the hydroponic community with videos like this

[@cookup2402]

this is crazy nice. better than any store set ups

[@kencruz4986]

Brilliant system!! Thanks for the info.

[@johnrackley1903]

WOW, best looking system I've seen yet, also most complex. Good job with it.

[@dramey03]

great system, the access to do maintenance is great, ill be copying this system exactly

[@deanhatch4179]

This is a very nice system. You made the comment towards the end reguarding the end cover gaskets being rather expensive. I lower cost solution is to run a bead of silicone around the inside of the end cap and ley cure till dry. then use a faucet washer over the nylon bolt from the inside. This will cost you about 2-3 dollars fot the total system. Great videos, keep up the good work.

[@Dwillis1841]

I bet those peppers were nice and crisp! Nice video thx!

[@happygameshow]

I really like the endcap idea.

[@highlife1296]

very nice! Thanks for the info.

[@eaoliver]

This is a nice design.

[@CuriousEarthMan]

I really appreciate your showing us all of this! I was thinking: if you wanted to take the time and cut the gasket material into strips, maybe you could find a tube-caulk (economical) adhesive, and make your gaskets from strips. You might also find O-ring material on a roll, or extra-long cheap O-rings you could cut (lids from food-shipping buckets have these sometimes. I wonder if spline for pool-cage screens might work. I'm curious about the nozzles your bought and how much they cost. I'll watch more of your videos for clues! Thank you!

[@JoshABand]

your system is flawless my friend. im really glad you are doing such a detailed explanation on it, one day i might switch to aeroponics as well. :) right now i just have eb and flow with some DWC systems set up. i like your setup quite a bit.

[@ghidfg]

very cool

[@CarlosRodriguez-yg5nx]

Great set up sir! I really want to build a small version (only have room for 6 plants in my little tent) hopefully I dont mess up too bad :)

[@bjdaddyjr]

This is the best system I've ever seen,and I love it. I would love to build one of these. Can you provide a complete list of parts needed? Do you have a blog of something with the steps to put it together? Any info, would be appreciated. Thanks

[@yesidruizficocol]

I congratulate you on your project is very good I hope you do well

[@tophercourtland1584]

Very nice system and an impressive build. I am about to build a 12 post system for a customer and really love the way you did your end caps versus using silicone. I was wondering how bad does that ps frame flex supporting all the weight? I wanted to go with square aluminum and fabricate the frame , but I don't have the time for that so I am going to use 2x4s. Are your spray heads standard ones like in clone machines or did you get them from the irrigation section at lowes? Thanks for your vid.

[@hd2kill]

Nice build im jealious

[@19Photographer76]

Well Jason, your educational videos are very detailed with outstanding explanations and reasons why. They are just as awesome as your well planned and executed system set-up. My only question is on the elect male used for the drain. My assumption is that you used an O ring on the inside with a compression connector or nut. Are your holes drilled above the nut? This is definitely the PRIMO rail set-up on KZbin!!

[@jacobdoherty636]

Cool system but damn that must have been super expensive!!!

[@johnsmith-zx5er]

please do a video about the plumbing!

[@justgivemethetruth]

Very clever and well engineered ... but what I noticed is that the plants don't look that great. Why not grow them outdoors ? Do you have any method of temperature control so the roots don't get too hot.

[@MrJuuustin28532]

The roots have a chance of growing algae with the white PVC that allows small amounts of light to pass through it.

[@daverohitb]

Great videos, can you please let us know how many pumps you have used for the 6 rails, what capacity of the pump and the make of the pump. Thanks

[@ZachOgilvie]

3:16 Is that a Cuba Libre I see there? Nice!

[@billschlacht5398]

I Love your system! I want it... do you happen to have any CAD drawings/blueprints/Full Parts list for the entire system? Love the auto fill!

[@Eric-bh6ie]

Nice system n thx for sharing it... have you updated it since?

[@tulipsmoran5197]

Hi - looks like a nice system - a little over-engineered though. do you have an update to comment on how easy this set up was to "garden" with? You've covered all the structural challenges but I'm not sure a 6 rail system as you have set up is really practical in terms of tending/harvesting plants. Unless you have access on all four sides which is not space efficient, it would be very difficult for most folks to get to the inner rails. I'm planning a similar system for my green house that is vertical structure 4 rails high and connect to my main reservoir (with 1800GPH pump) that will handle my entire 10x1 greenhouse hydro that includes multiple Dutch buckets - 2 different sizes.

[@hkuykend]

Use rubber inner tube for the gasket.

[@Tim2thaTom]

@jksax914 Nice Setup! What model of quiet one pump are you using? Did you need any additional fittings to connect to the pvc piping?

[@chickenfriedfish4059]

How do you harvest peppers in the middle? Can you reach from the side into the middle of the system?

[@raymann8284]

Yeah, same question

[@TheCondor300]

Instead of a gasket for your end caps you might be able to use a bead of silicone, let it dry and then put your end caps on.... just a thought... what do you think? BTW... nice set up. What are the sprinklers and where do you get them... cost?

[@mediamaker2000]

I'm holding off questions til the end of the series because you explain everything so well, I'm sure you will cover all my questions. I will have one down the road which is how much electrical cost is involved. Are you running kill-a-watt meters etc?

[@manandharggaurab]

what other pipes on the side and under rails??? and also could you detail on plant support system

[@quiknumberdoornumbers2622]

Neat system. What spray heads are you using and where did you buy them? Thanks, Joe

[@hydro2378]

Love your set up! Would like to make a system like yours. Is there any information you have that you can send me to help my project. If you have a blue plans, list of things to buy or anything that can help me on this journey. Thank you and happy growing.

[@mrmartinwatson1]

Hey, what would you recommend for a nutrient solution?

[@cjvaughn2687]

Thanks for the video! Question, do you run this system 24/7, or do you do 1 min on 5 min off or something like that. I will be creating an aeroponics system but it will be out doors in Texas heat soon and I wanted to know about timing the sprinklers... Thanks!

[@lokeman8492]

Hello, I am thinking of taking the plunge and starting an aeroponic garden. I really like your setup and am thinking of building one like this myself.I would really appreciate it if you could find a minute of two to help me with a couple questions. Thanks and keep up the helpful videos.

[@Christian-bc2es]

Building a barrel system, ordered most of the system today. Did this system ever pay itself off? Are you still doing aeroponics?

[@jeremiahwilson1781]

you just built a nice system. would of cost you big bucks if you were to but premade tube system. sweet.

[@kevinwiliamleo234]

is it any different ppm for aeroponic and hydroponic?? , please answer , thanks

[@scottradeke7542]

What pressure and flow pump are you using?

[@hassanakhtarkk6085]

Can I use hydroponic in outdoor? Can I use soil instead of coco coir etc? What should be neutrals ratio with water for tomatoes or other vegetables?

[@imatelly]

how is your rail set with sprayer heads held in by pressure. its all i cant figure out on this thing. id figure pressure would push it apart not hold it together.

[@justgivemethetruth954]

this is cool. the only thing I do not like is that there seems to be no way to get access to the plants that are not on the edge. You should have left an aisle after every 4 rails so you can walk down the middle.

[@CarlosRodriguez-yg5nx]

Is there anyway i can get a parts list and watering schedule from you? I am a new grower but have been doing lots of reaserch on what would be the best way to grow youre system blew all the others out of the water :)

[@SanGerman59Holguin79]

I am in the same mind pipe as Mr. Carlos Rodriguez. "Is there anyway i can get a parts list and watering schedule from you? I am a new grower but have been doing lots of research on what would be the best way to grow and your system blew all the others out of the water :)"

[@3andmoretocome]

I would too like a parts list.

[@Th3_Gael]

Still interested? www.pdf-archive.com/2016/03/10/stinkbud-sr02-2/

[@kevinbratton6661]

What pump are you using to feed your misters?

[@RhiannonSchoch]

I would be concerned about the light levels inside the tubing. I know roots do not like to be exposed to light at all and I saw that when you showed the inside of your rails the vinyl fencepost is fairly translucent. Do you think root growth could be improved at all by blacking out the fenceposts with panda paper/opaque paint?

[@Tervnut]

as I'm a doofus re numbers, I'd like to see specific part lists and a breakdown of dimensions/lengths for one of them, ... maybe I'm a bit lazy too, but I'm so impressed! why reinvent your wheel?!

[@tomthorn9310]

What are the end cap gaskets called?

[@steamypooptart]

I know this is an old video, but how did you get the screw 4:56 to hold still and not freely spin as you're tightening the wing nut?

[@Jksax914]

When you tighten the nylon nut it locks the nylon screw in place. Hold the screw while tightening the nut.

[@NickCawthon]

you mentioned that if you were to do DWC, that you'd remove a 90 elbow, and run the sprayers at the top of the rail, not the bottom. Why not do this even in the aeroponic set-up? Would it not cover more of the root base that way?

[@SanGerman59Holguin79]

Could your system be operated outside?

[@greensnapper1602]

On the ends you can always use a rubber inner tube Might Save you on the $36. Bucks

[@yesidruizficocol]

lthe pipe has lagoon inclination to return the water?

[@AnnaCentauri]

must be an el prez fan, sounds just like him lol

[@dramey03]

i need your help bud, i stole your idea, i absolutely love it and appreciate it greatly , im just having one small problem the end caps have a Very slow drip leak even with the rubber gasket sheets maybe i didnt cut them good enough? did you leave them a little large ? i tried to cut it exact, but it has a slow drip, do you have that problem? any ideas?

[@chaosinhell666]

how much does this cost to build just the sprayers and plumbing not the pump or any of that

[@rnendzame]

WITH DEEP WATER CULTURE UR SPRINLERS ARE GOING TO BE UNDERWATER. HOW WOULD THEY WORK?

[@dangambrills1802]

the only problem with these and other aeroponic is the installing of fitting, or at least a better explanation of them. still great vid though--

[@Johnnychi123]

like the inside of a sub

[@remediosrecetas9142]

hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to uncover aquaponics book try Debuncar Amazing Aquaponics Aid (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my colleague got excellent success with it

[@Blue_Diamond-li8yj]

Hate to say this because you made lots of effort. While you might have a great system for growing flowers, this system isn’t constructed of Food grade plastics and you will have toxic plants. A lot of people don’t think of bpa and other things when making one of these systems. I am constructing my own system and paying the price to go with food grade. BPA is only one nasty by non food grade plastics, It turns into β-glucosides in the plant and is known to cause cancer. I am finding I’m my own system I need to really research every component to ensure even the dripper lines are food grade. Best wishes!
